01 What makes it unique

KZ lists the 2007 Jag 26JS at 4,870 lb dry, a GVWR of 7,000 lb, a net carrying capacity of 2,130 lb and a tongue weight of 440 lb. Its dry weight plus its carrying capacity comes to exactly its GVWR.

It is 27'3" long and 121" high. KZ prints its tanks as 30 gal fresh, 35 gal grey, 35 gal black.

Among the 19 Jag floorplans KZ’s Jag brochure (filed in KZ’s 2007 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 7 from the lightest, in a range from 3,840 lb (Jag 20J) to 8,724 lb (Jag 38J2S). Every figure in that comparison is KZ’s, for the same model year.

Every number on this page was read on 5 Nov 2026 from KZ’s Jag brochure (filed in KZ’s 2007 brochure folder; the brochure prints no year); model year 2007 comes from where the maker files it on its own site, not from the document’s text.

How the 26JS differs from the other fourteen Jag travel trailers. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.

  • Tongue weight, 440 lb: lightest of fifteen; next is the 24JB (450 lb).
  • Cargo capacity, 2,130 lb: third-smallest of fifteen, between the 38J2S (1,670 lb) and the 20J (2,160 lb).
  • Cargo capacity as a share of GVWR, 30.4%: fourth-smallest of eleven, between the 33J2S (29.7%) and the 25JQ (31.3%).
  • Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 9%: smallest of fifteen, level with the 38JSS; next is the 25JQ (9.6%).
  • Length, 27 ft 3 in: sixth-shortest of fifteen, between the 24JB (26 ft 10 in) and the 28JBSS (29 ft).
  • Dry weight, 4,870 lb: seventh-lightest of fifteen, between the 25JQ (4,810 lb) and the 29JBS (5,620 lb).
  • Exterior height, 10 ft 1 in: lowest of fifteen, level with the 20J, 21JQ and three others; next are the 28JBSS, 28JSS and seven others (10 ft 11 in).
  • Interior height, 6 ft 6 in: lowest of fifteen, level with the 20J, 21JQ and three others; next are the 28JBSS, 28JSS and seven others (6 ft 10 in).
  • GVWR, 7,000 lb: shared with the 25JQ, 25JS and two others; of fifteen, three lower and seven higher, nearest the 20J, 21JQ and 24JB (6,000 lb) and the 28JBSS, 28JSS and five others (10,000 lb).

Next to the 25JQ, the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the 26JS is 60 lb heavier by dry weight, has 60 lb less cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 20 lb lighter and is 2 ft 6 in longer; the two publish the same GVWR, exterior height, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Next to the 29JBS, the nearest heavier floorplan by dry weight, the 26JS is 750 lb lighter by dry weight, has 750 lb more cargo capacity, has a tongue weight 200 lb lighter, is 2 ft 2 in shorter, stands 10 in lower and has 4 in less interior height; the two publish the same GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it

Tow rating needed7,000 lb
Published tongue weight440 lb
Loaded tongue weight, rule of thumb700–1,050 lb
Receiver hitch rating needed7,000 lb towed / 1,050 lb tongue
Payload check. Budget loaded, not dry: subtract the loaded range, every passenger, the bed and cab load and a weight-distributing hitch from the payload on your tow vehicle’s door-pillar placard (49 CFR 571.110 S4.3).

Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.

Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (7,000 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (1,050 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.

Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan

What KZ does not publish for the Jag 26JS

KZ prints no sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.

Read the label on the trailer

Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.

05 How it compares

Lighter
KZ Jag 25JQ

4,810 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,870 lb and 7,000 lb.

Heavier
KZ Jag 23JFS

5,224 lb dry and 7,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 4,870 lb and 7,000 lb.

06 Loading it for a trip

A full 30-gallon fresh tank is about 249 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.2), 12% of the Jag 26JS’s 2,130 lb cargo capacity, leaving 1,881 lb. Across 15 Jag travel-trailer floorplans the water share runs 6% to 18%, and 2 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Jag 20J at 12% and Jag 38J2S at 15%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.110 S9.3.3).

07 Where this floorplan sits

Closest sibling: the Jag 25JQ, nearest on the published figures. It differs on 4 of the 8 fields both publish (this plan first): length 27 ft 3 in vs 24 ft 9 in; dry weight 4,870 lb vs 4,810 lb; cargo capacity 2,130 lb vs 2,190 lb; hitch weight 440 lb vs 460 lb. They match on GVWR, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

09 What this page publishes, and what it does not

12 of the 18 fields this catalogue tracks are published for the Jag 26JS. Not published: sleeps, slide count, axle count, refrigerator, air conditioning, tire size (a description is published, a size is not).

Sourcing rules: methodology.

11 NHTSA safety record

NHTSA holds 3 recall campaigns against the Jag line (a recall and a complaint are not the same thing).

Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Jag line page.

Earlier model years

The record at the top of this page is the 26JS from 2007. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 26JS, and that year is printed here: 2006. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.

Source for 2006. Printed in KZ RV’s Jag brochure (www.kz-rv.com). The document itself prints no model year; KZ RV files it under 2006 in its own brochure folder. Dry weight plus cargo capacity equals the printed GVWR exactly (4,870 + 2,130 = 7,000 lb). Nothing in this record is copied from another model year.

NHTSA record for 2006 Jag

2 recall campaigns filed with NHTSA name the Jag for model year 2006:

No owner complaint filed with NHTSA names the Jag for model year 2006. NHTSA files recalls and complaints by line and model year, not by floorplan, so a campaign listed here may not affect every Jag floorplan; the recall notice says which units it covers.
